Boyfriend doesn’t want sex, says he’s stressed

[SusieKew]

My bf and have rarely been intimate for some time because he is extremely stressed and under pressure with work. I trust him but I have needs and it’s starting to make me feel undesirable and wonder is there something else going on? Is this a concern? How do I maintain my cool when when I feel this way?

If this doesn’t improve walk be it won’t get any better, I’m leaving a sexless marriage not the main reason now but it hasn’t helped. Hope you get it sorted.

Stress does affect libido.
If he’s stressed at work then he needs support from his employer to reduce stress levels, and if they are not willing to do this - and work is affecting his mental health, then he should consider changing jobs.

How long has it been?

Encourage him to change jobs and tell him you can't live in a sexless relationship. Give him a bit of time and call it quits if no change.

End it

He is an entrepreneur and has recently started a new venture. Our sex life has been affected for a few months. He has explained how his libido can be affected by stress but that paired with the fact that he’s constantly busy with work makes me feel emotionally neglected and when I mention it it becomes an argument because he says he’s explained where he’s currently at. I want to be a supportive partner but It seems I don’t know how to be and how long I’m supposed to hold out for.

Stress does affect libido.
Yep, agree with this, when I went through my 90 day at risk of redundancy it killed my sex drive stone dead.
